Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

What kind of mount is that and where did you get it? It looks much sturdier than the GoPro mount.

Mostly cold weather gear as I had none!

Pearl Izumi Barrier Jacket
Pearl Izumi Thermal Tights
Pearl Izumi Wool Socks
Under Armour Ninja Mask (for those really cold days!)
Multi-Tool
Chain Cleaner Kit

I also got a Runner's World magazine subscription, new pair of jeans, some running dry-fit shirts, and some stocking stuffer novelties.

plus a little cash to throw towards my impending bike purchase. My in-laws spoil us...

and when I mentioned that my bike computer doesn't have a cadence sensor on it, my father-in-law gave his his old Polar CS100 with cadence and heart rate monitor

This Christmas was dominated by cycling equipment and gear.
I got:
Long sleeved Specialized jersey, a short sleeved Specialized jersey, a wireless Cateye Strava computer, Nite Rider 350 light, radiator tights, new shorts, some full finger gloves, and part of my Christmas was the new Felt F5. I got most of this stuff before Christmas as I needed it for the weather and a ride I wanted to make (the lights).
Most of my stuff summed up in this picture


My son:
2011 Specialized Allez double, tights, shorts, long and short gloves, Nite Rider 150 light set w/ the Cherry Bomb rear light, two jersies, ...that's all I can think of right now.

All but the shorts/tights, and lights came from my LBS, Epic Bikes. I like to support the brick and mortar where I can.

I got some new Garneau gloves, some Garneau leg warmers, and some Pearl Izumi arm warmers. Use your imagination as to what they look like.

wife got me some winter clothes; not bike specific, but that's what they'll be used for. a base layer and a mid layer. Tired them out today, went 3 miles and I was sweating...so looks like they work.

Are you sure? Something makes me think you are missing something. Like how dangerous sweating in the cold is which is why they make outdoor specific clothing warm and breathable. 3 miles in you should just be starting to get acquainted with being warm and certainly not sweating.
